Quibe

It’s a Brazilian recipe adapted from what the middle-eastern diaspora brought over to Brazil. It’s basically a fried ball of ground beef, bulgur wheat, and herbs. I eat it with lime juice. It’s the best.

Some other favorites

Chicken (all kinds: fried, baked, grilled, stuffed, stewed, cordon bleu, with waffles)

Potato (all kinds: fried, baked, grilled, stuffed, stewed, chips, mashed)

Can’t go wrong with a good, medium-rare burger on a potato bun.

Oh, and hot dogs! I don’t care how disgusting they are to create. They’re damn delicious.

And shoutout to bacon.

Definitely a reference to Ted Cruz, who, when he heard rumors Palin would endorse Trump, accused Trump of being historically progressive on issues Palin cares about.

I think it [would] be a blow to Sarah Palin, because Sarah Palin has been a champion for the conservative cause, and if she was going to endorse Donald Trump, sadly, she would be endorsing someone who’s held progressive views all their life on the sanctity of life, on marriage, on partial-birth abortion.
Rick Tyler, from the Cruz camp, on CNN

Naturally, this prompted Bristol Palin (???) to write a thing:

I know there’s a PhD student at McGill studying fan culture and social media. She’s teaching a course on Netflix this semester.

I bet she could point you in the right direction. Here’s her twitter: https://twitter.com/virtualcasey

This is so amazing. Can you imagine Genius annotations actually having an impact on an artist’s next album or single? Or on a journalist’s next article?

Do we have any notable fandoms onsite? Are they anywhere near as powerful as the Sherlock fandom on tumblr and other sites? Follow-up question: do we want strong fandoms on Genius? What if they’re smart/knowledgeable fandoms?

We have kind of a Kanye, Kendrick, Pusha T cult on the Rap side of things. Would those qualify as fandoms?

I think people who are obsessive about one particular artist inevitably end up forming a kind of fandom on Genius through their dedication to that artist’s pages.

Well, a fandom, by definitive norm, is about just one topic or subject within a genre and we usually don’t break ourselves down past “Sports” or “Rap or anything like that. Also, to @dalmo directly, that might, MIGHT, be a fandom, but breaking down to one person or artist directly is a bit hard if the community isn’t also focused on that person. The obsession is a huge part of the fandom, not just the willingness to defend or champion.
